How do you delete this horse?

Postby Heidilady » Thu Aug 29, 2013 1:48 pm

UNGAR0 (that is Ungar + a zero not an O) is listed as the sole offspring of Bodemeister who does not, as yet, have any. It won't bring him up when I try to delete him. The search thingy thinks I'm looking for a horse called Ungar. Not sure how to get a horse like that out of the database.

PS. In looking back over the three Ungar horses that came up, 2 of them appear to be the same horse entered twice with duplicate dam entries. Oh joy. Ungar3 with dam Uganda9 and Unger4 with dam Uganda 10 both born 1957 and by Maranon3. The Uganda mares have different birth dates listed, and seem to be different but who knows.

The faux foal by Bodeister was in the db as "Ungar0 6" and has been deleted. The db wouldn't bring it up as an option when you entered "Ungar" in the delete field because the "0[space]6" was actually entered as part of the name, not added automatically by the db to distinguish between entries with same name.

Thanks for the other info. :)
